Enhancing Procurement Practices Comprehensive Approach to Acquiring Complex Facilities and Projects

"By including a substantial emphasis on ... complex procurements, the author makes a useful contribution to the literature. ... the author nicely integrates the Project Management Institute's Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) with the procurement process ... The strength of this book is in its perspective on procurement from the standpoint of project management, and hopefully it will spark greater interest in the subject."
(Robert E. Lloyd, CPCM, U.S. Department of State for the Journal of Public Procurement, Volume 4:3)

"In an era where procurement is so essential in delivering services, public or private, a codification of practices through a comprehensive approach of the systems and procedures available is of immense benefit. (Kovács) has succeeded in opening the often closed and technocratic world of procurement to audiences that need to appreciate the importance of the interface between private and public sectors and their respective partners in the procurement process. The monograph represents a significant contribution to the international literature of procurement from a multi-discipline perspective."
